Is E6 moving to 72

[ralfyguy]

It's at 71.84 now and still moving...strange..

TLEs used to calculate this are not necessarilly current.

 

[Trek2000]

Still moving

It's now at 71.73.

 

[digiblur]

I highly doubt it as the latest filing does not state it is going to 61.5. There hasn't been a TLE update to the site saying it stopped so the site is still estimating it is moving.

 

[Raymie]

Now that there are channels being placed at 72.7, this should be interesting.

FCC Approves E-6 Operations from 72.7 W

Here is the FCC website address:

So reading the filing, Dish estimates up to 5 mil installations for Eastern Arc.

 

[Peter Parker]

No. I agree it says that but the numbers used are traditioanlly notoriosuly low.

 

[rocatman]

No. I agree it says that but the numbers used are traditioanlly notoriosuly low.

If the 72.7 W slot is MPEG-4 only then it would be great if 5 million of Dish's customers had MPEG-4 receivers. Of course Dish can always apply to the FCC to increase this number.

Would then it will qualified as a lie and should FCC penalize the cheater ?

They just file later to increase the number of earth stations as needed.

At 72.11

It's back at 72.11 right now maybe they are having a hard time getting it to the right place.

Yep... they were aiming for D11.

They updated the model today You see a time travel jump when the model updates during powered maneuvers.

 

[nelson61]

Latest model updates show E6 has arrived on station and is playing bumper ball with Directv's satellite at that location. Expect to see activity any time.

I scanned 72.7 last night with the QPSK receiver I haven't manually checked for 8PSK stuff. Nothing but DirecTV's streams so far.

I scanned 72.7 last night with the QPSK receiver I haven't manually checked for 8PSK stuff. Nothing but DirecTV's streams so far.

So are we going to see 16 TPs of DirecTV streams and 16 TPs of Dish Network streams until the end of this year when DirecTV leaves the orbital location? I am assuming that just like over at 110 and 119, this will not have any adverse effect (although on 110 they use a Sat-C LNB)

 

[photoman76]

There are some signals up on E6 now. The signals are too weak here in California to lock though.

I was able to receive 72.7W last evening with an old Bell 3100/Dish 301. I think I had used transponder 21 (12516 MHz) and the signal was alright. 66-68. I'm using an old DirecTV 101/110/119 18" eliptical, and i'm in Central Canada, so that could be the reason for weak signal

I also scanned that transponder with a 8PSK/MPEG-4-capable FTA receiver (not to pirate, just to test...I'm a radio nerd not a thief) and can confirm the 12 channels are present on 12516 MHz which are listed on Lyngsat. But there's no video/audio. "Autoroll Processing" forever. Again, not hacking...was just a test.

S/R 20000, V, 5/6 FEC, DVB

Does anyone know what sats the Eastern Arc will use in the end? I'm guessing 61.5W, 72.7W (with 1/2 the transponders of Bell's new bird-to-be-launched too), and 77.0W once they make some further changes. I guess DN will have to come up with a new dish at some point. If they go with 61.5/72.7/77.0 the spacing is not compatible with any current dish I'm aware of.

They have a new dish it is called 1000.4 for eastern arc
